Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is on a trajectory to become the first semiconductor firm to breach a $2 trillion market cap, driven by its unparalleled dominance in the AI chip market and undervalued growth potential. As of August 2025, TSMC commands a market capitalization of approximately $1.197 trillion, reflecting its role as the linchpin of the global AI infrastructure boom [1].
TSMC's Q2 2025 results underscore its financial strength. The company reported a 61% year-over-year surge in net income to NT$398.27 billion and revenue of NT$933.80 billion, a 38.65% increase, driven by robust demand for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) chips [2]. The HPC segment alone accounted for 60% of TSMC’s revenue, up from 52% in the same period in 2024, as advanced-node manufacturing (below 7nm) became critical for AI accelerators and GPUs [1].
TSMC's strategic positioning in the AI era is evident in its 100% market share in AI data center logic semiconductors, producing chips for NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and custom accelerators for cloud giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI [3]. Its collaboration with NVIDIA on the Blackwell AI chip—built using TSMC’s 3nm and 5nm nodes—highlights its strategic alignment with the AI era [3].
Despite its dominance, TSMC’s valuation remains attractive. A forward P/E ratio of 23.14 and a PEG ratio of 1.08 suggest the stock is fairly priced relative to its projected earnings growth [2]. In contrast, peers like AMD and Broadcom trade at P/E ratios of 96.7x and 105.6x, respectively [3]. Analysts argue that TSMC’s P/E is undervalued given its 45% CAGR in AI-related revenue and 20% CAGR in overall revenue through 2029 [1].
TSMC’s 35% share of the “Foundry 2.0” market and its mid-30% annual revenue growth in this segment position it to capture disproportionate value [5]. The broader semiconductor industry’s PEG ratio of 0.55 in 2025 further underscores undervaluation relative to growth expectations [3]. With TSMC’s revenue expected to grow 38% in 2025 and 22% annually over five years [2], its valuation appears to lag its fundamentals. A 12% total return annually—combining 11% CAGR in market cap growth and a 1% dividend yield—could see TSMC reach $2 trillion by 2030 [1].
Conclusion: TSMC’s strategic positioning in the AI era, coupled with its undervalued metrics, makes it a compelling long-term investment. As AI infrastructure spending accelerates and TSMC expands its U.S. footprint, the company is poised to outperform even its most optimistic forecasts. With a PEG ratio in line with growth and a market cap still below its intrinsic value, TSMC’s journey to $2 trillion is not just plausible—it is inevitable.
